Afenifere tells Tinubu to go after terrorists…says he cannot afford to fail like his predecessor

In news reports, with concerns of growing insecurity in the country, the pan-Yoruba socio-political organization, Afenifere has asked President Bola Tinubu to stop making excuses for going after the terrorists operating across the country. Afenifere, in a statement jointly signed by its publicity secretary, Gboyega Adejumo, and assistant publicity secretary, Justice Faloye, warned that President Tinubu could not afford to fail in the critical national assignment, like former president, Muhammadu Buhari. Afenifere’s position came as an emboldened group of bandits, who had abducted 16 residents of the Gonin Gora area of Kaduna metropolis, yesterday, made outrageous demands, including a ransom of N40 trillion for their victims’ release. Other demands of the criminals included 11 Hilux vans and 150 motorcycles before the release of the 16 people in their captivity. In yet another indication of the worsening insecurity in the country, no fewer than seven persons were shot dead on Sunday at an evening market in Zurak, Wase Local Government Area of Plateau State, when suspected bandits invaded the market.
